Compared to the other crap that took the stage to perform last night, they were phenomenal. Man, those Enchanted songs were terrible. I Ilike them anyway, though, so maybe I'm biased. Hopefully I'll get to one of these shows.

To the max, yo. I loved the soundtrack, but outside of that I'm pretty much right there with you. I didn't not like it, but I did think it was just okay.

This and No Country were my favorites of the year. Really, really great. There Will Be Blood was good, but Daniel Day Lewis turned the whole thing into a sort of stage production. I could have seen him breaking out into song during a lot of those scenes. Either ridiculously over the top and cartoony performance or the rest of the cast was so awful they made it seem that way. And the end was terrible. What the hell was the point of it? No Country was better by leaps and bounds to me.

Suffering through this right now. Not very far, but the whole thing seems so corny and overblown. I can retell the story in three sentences: I'm scared. I know. The man pushed the cart down the road. I will admit that there have been some beautiful sentences/paragraphs, but I don't care at all about either character. Man, just die already. We get it. You're sick. Boy, stop complaining. For this way of life being the only thing you've ever know, you sure do seem pretty bewildered by everything.

No doubt I've scared off at least as many due to my foul mouth.

Scaring people away, as usual.

Shit. I missed Hotel Arizona.

I wonder if this has a podcast.

So because I can go to the grocery store and rent a house I should excuse the President for being a fucktard? Interesting persepective...

This might be the most ill-informed statement I've ever seen on here. It's just ludicrous to think that Obama supporters are stupid enough to toss the guy the keys to city without knowing what he'll do with them. It's not like he's the Pied Piper and we're all plague-ridden rats. I'm not saying there isn't anybody swept away by his rhetoric, but for every one of those there almost has to be an equal number (I'd bet more) of Clinton supporters who back her based on her last name alone.

I think that attack in Tokyo was the result of a Japanese cult, no?

And I thought that was the worst speech I've seen him give.

I will be the first one to say it - this is stupid.

Their date in Seattle just happens to coincide with my journey to Washington and then I'll get to see them a few weeks later again in Chicago. Much excited.

Obama is holding rallies at the same places a band like U2 plays when it tours. Is anybody else amazed by this?

Possibly. Not sure yet.

Since when is Loose Fur a duo?

You really need to long jump and get those long strands of coins right when you start out. Also, being able to jump off the edges, grab the packets of four or five coins hovering in space and spin back onto the platform will help. That part, in my opinion, is less important, though. There's a video on YouTube of a guy getting all of the coins. Pretty awesome to watch.

Edwards was superb last night when they were actually letting him join in. I haven't seen him look that strong at least since '04, if ever.

Yay! Today is the most exciting day of football for me since, I guess, 1997. Wooooo, wooo.

Yeah, they really took the Reagan comments and ran with those. I thought he was right on, but with everything being presented via four second sound bytes, it's pretty easy to have that misconstrued.

It's not even technically a Counting Crows song, is it? I thought it was from Adam's previous demos or something like that. But I'm pretty sure it is now available as a bonus track on a greatest hits album. As for the Counting Crows....meh. They haven't done a whole lot for me since high school. I was ultra into them then, though.

I thought this thread was going to be about the new ride at Six Flags.
